From a usability point of view I actually agree with JN on this. I have put search boxes in the upper right hand corner of sites wrapping the field and button in FIELDSET + LEGEND and no matter what I do it always appears cluttered and a cognitive overload. If it is moved into a column of such sub sections it tend to take its place much better, if fits in with the rest of the layout. So it's not always easy finding the balance between usability and accessibility. Geoff -----Original Message----- From: carl.myhill@ps.ge.com Thanks for the interesting reply Tina. Although Nielsen uses the word 'heading' I don't think he is saying an <h1> style heading. He is saying don't write any text there at all, just rely on the text of the button. I can see this point of view, but I thought accessibility guidelines were different - particularly for screen reading devices.
